What people in Lincoln ask us.
Do you charge for coming out?
No. Lincoln is somewhere we cover in person, and the first visit is free with no call-out fee. The visit is part of the job, not a line on the bill.
How quickly can you fit it?
We agree the day with you when you call; Lincoln is one of the further towns we cover, so we plan the visit rather than promise a week. We fit the kit, build your menu or products and train your staff in person.
Is uphill really that different?
A tearoom on Steep Hill has a seasonal, visitor-led week; a shop on the lower High Street has a steady local one. They want different kit.
Do you cover Lincoln from Mansfield?
We would rather be straight that it’s a drive than pretend otherwise.
